The softserve ice cream is pretty good, not the best but pretty good. Carvel has good service and a clean shop. I always enjoy a cone of ice cream there. They are eager to please and serve you right away. You can't go wrong at Carvel.

Good dependable Carvel. Been around since I was a kid. (Who am I kidding? I'm STILL a kid ....at heart). Stopped in after a long hiatus because the kid and his girlfriend wanted vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. Being the loving Mom that I am, (not to mention that it sounded appealing), we went just for THAT; albeit, I had the kiddie cup of it, son opted for cone and girlfriend had medium cup size. ALL of us had the soft-serve vanilla that they're famous for AND the rainbow sprinkles because, well, they're fun!!! Isn't there STILL a "little kid" in ALL of us?

What happened to Carvel? They don't have layered cakes anymore?!?! Why would you mess with perfection? The box shows layered cakes (see my pic) but the staff said all the cakes are "swirled" chocolate/vanilla (strike one: gimme the layers!) and, regardless, the cake I bought is 99% chocolate (see mu other pic, and strike two, btw: some people, including special birthday girls, don't like chocolate ice cream). Wal-mart emergency substitute ice cream cake coming up! Thanks for nuthin, Carvel! Oh how the mighty have fallen!

Not only are the treats always fresh and tasty but the store is clean and the staff very friendly. It's not unusual to run into people we know so it feels very small town at times as Boca is kind of spread out I have ordered cakes for special occasions and they have never failed me. Can't say that about many franchises.

Great ice cream. The store is small, but everything is certified kosher (as far as I know), tasty, and affordable.

Best soft serve ice cream bar none. Service friendly and fast. There is nothing better than vanilla carvel with those wonderful crunchies Or how about a fresh brown bonnet with the chocolate coating still a little soft. Or a hot fudge sundae. Or a flying saucer. I could go on and on. Store is small but kept clean. The showcases are always full of take out novelties and cakes. There is no equal for Carvel for taste and consistency. It is the best.

I'm a Carvel guy to the death. Sure froyo is cool and it's hard to pass up the selections and toppings at Menchies, but I'd take Carvel over any of those places all day, everyday. Carvel is the OG of this. Soft served ice-cream in Florida is a perfect combination. It's Luke and Laura. It's Sonny and Cher. It's John Mayer and Katy Perry. Dairy Queen is cool, but really, have you ever seen them run by English speaking people? I'm not even sure they clean out those machines plus they sell those disgusting looking microwaved hot dogs. Give me a chocolate/vanilla twist on a cone and I'm set. But chill with those price increases. The cone costs 10 cents and maybe another 35 cents for the powered ice cream. No reason in hell I should be spending $7.50 on two small cones here.

A perfectly decent ice-cream shop! I don't have much to say other than (at the time I visited) they had Girl Scout cookie ice cream! YUM. I had a coupon from a local mailer, otherwise, it was a tad expensive, but not more than getting fro-yo or the like. Enjoy!

Brings back many memories growing up in upstate NY. The line was understandably long at 10pm with the weather nice and balmy. Efficient service and nice variety of soft serve, hard pack and novelties. Recommend

Best-tasting soft-serve has always been Carvel - and it's Kosher too! Tom Carvel was not Jewish, but he knew that using Kosher in combination with air would make his ice-cream cool, clean & tasty. My only qualm with this particular Carvel - the owner and his young staff cannot make an Egg-Cream. It's not rocket science, people! There's no fizz to the seltzer, provided that they have it available. An Egg-Cream is supposed to have a frothy head, thus resembling Egg Yolk - thus the name Egg Cream. Instead, it's almost always flat. They can also be more generous with the hot fudge on their sundaes. The hot fudge should last to the last scoop of ice-cream. Instead, I am left with half my ice-cream and no hot fudge.
